Welcome to Atheros r52054 beta release thread for reporting, feedback to developers and community benefit.
Please do not flash builds until installation is understood, risks involved and device specificrecovery methods.
Avoid discussions, create threads for questions, general problems or use search; this thread is not for support.
List router model & version or revision, operating & wireless modes & exact filename/firmware image flashed.
CLI Flash: 'cd /tmp' then 'wget {file URL}' (httponly) or 'curl -O {file URL}' (http, https, ftp). 'write {file} linux' then 'reboot'.
Issues, observations, and/or workarounds reported:
• WebUI: Clear history or use a portable. Temporary cache bypass: Ctrl+F5, Cmd+Shift+R or new private window/incognito.
• Please report findings with steps needed to reproduce, configuration, clients, output, logs and important information below!
Important:
• Detail issues & relevant configs, logs: syslog klog 'dmesg' 'cat /tmp/var/log/messages' nvram set console_debug=1, serial.
• Firewall NAT: 'iptables -vnL' 'iptables -t nat -vnL' 'iptables -t mangle -vnL' & 'cat /tmp/.ipt'. Misc: stracetcpdumpwireshark.
• Gremlins: reboot. cold boot. Reset & reconfigure not restore backup. Search Trac & discuss in forum before opening tickets.
• Include operating & wireless modes (e.g. Gateway, Router, AP, SB, WDS, Mesh) and applicable configurations to reproduce.

Router Model TP-Link WR1043ND V2
Firmware Version DD-WRT v3.0-r52054 std (03/18/23)
Kernel Version Linux 3.18.140-d6 #166872 Sat Mar 18 07:11:23 +06 2023 mips
Router Model Netgear R7800
Firmware Version DD-WRT v3.0-r52054 std (03/18/23)
Kernel Version Linux 4.9.337 #1688 SMP Fri Mar 17 23:55:31 +07 2023 armv7l
Settings page: TX power 30 dBm (max 30)
vs.
Status Wireless: wlan0 TX power 26 dBm
Is it just the "max 30" which is wrong?
On 2.4 GHz in my router the difference is also 4 dB, but the max for this band is 20 (dBm) per the settings page and I have it set to 24, so that explains the 20 dB in the status info.
Yes, the value displayed in the WLAN settings is incorrect.
The maximum TX power depends on the domain and the selected channel.
In Europe, a maximum of 26dB is allowed on channels 100-140.
In earlier builds, this was once displayed correctly in the WLAN settings.

The Max power is also regulated by the Regulatory Domain some domains do not allow more than 26 dB.
Of course you have to set the domain according to the region you live in, anything else is illegal. But I live in Panama which allows 30 dB.
So I guess the "(max 30)" is more like the limit for the router hardware (1 W output) and does not reflect the domain setting.
BTW: the 5 GHz Channel Quality dropped from a consistent 99% to 84% now that I have upgraded to 52054 from the previous build. The 5 GHz band is totally empty here at this moment. Only very occasionally there's another signal but much lower in the band.
The channel quality depends on the activity on the channel.
The activity can also come from yourself.
If you do a speed test or load test, the quality also decreases - completely without external influences.
And we are not looking for bugs that are not there.

My 1043v2 which also lives in Panama
Im very close to it ATM... just one plaster wall away and 2.4Ghz signal is ok...
but there is indeed misunderstanding, on wifi report page and wifi settings page ...
+ signal is usually 90-97% but not 79% also domain TX override settings are missing, but i guess 1043v2 does not deserve it.. im fine with it... _________________ Atheros

yep the test was performed with one single device connected to it, as im the only one in the office today...
and yes i know how the channel quality varies...but i dont have any complains as far as the
unit delivers its slow performance as its running VPN client, I dont bother with those graph's/reports..so yes im fine with it...just reporting..i didt the speed test running and idle check..
p.s. if you noticed i do have the same TX output errors..i always set -1 out of the max 25dbm for this unit, so its set to 24dbm but it reports 25dbm...it wasn't like that before ... _________________ Atheros

see my Acrylic Wi-Fi results with radio when its busy and not even connected to it...both the same, not even close to the real values that you get from DDWRT gui
